This is not a movie set. This is real life on a highway I take to the airport. My home is safe but a lot of my friends had to evacuate their homes due to this LA fire. My thoughts and prayers go to all families affected. Thank you to all firefighters and first responders pic.twitter.com/Qgbyh0EXLM

“When we have opportunities, when the winds have died down, we do direct
firefighting on the fire line and try to get some containment,” said
Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen.

But that will solely depend on Santa Ana winds, which authorities
anticipate to be extremely strong Thursday and to continue to Saturday.
Conditions also are expected to be bone-dry, with humidity in the single
digits.

Pimlott said he fears winds could gain speeds up to 80 mph.

"There will be no ability to fight fires in this type of wind. This will be
about evacuation and getting people out from in front of any fires that
start in these types of conditions," Pimlott said.

LA Health tweeted out an action plan for the community to prepare for the
fire’s impact:

Institutions like the Getty Museum tweeted its closings and informed the
public about the work it was doing to prepare for the fire.

The Getty Center is closed to the public today. The fire is northeast of the Getty Center and east of the San Diego Freeway. Air filtration systems are protecting the galleries from smoke. We continue to monitor the situation and will issue updates as we have them.
